Best NBA Bets Today: Warriors vs. Jazz Expert Picks, Predictions & Prop Bets

The Jazz are more than happy to see the return of Donovan Mitchell, as the Utah star most recently powered through the Knicks. Mitchell’s strong play in his two games back will be tested tonight as the Warriors bring their nine-game win streak to town. Utah will be without Rudy Gobert once again and should start Udoka Azubuike at center. The Jazz have won three straight games but only four of their last 10. Jordan Clarkson is expected to play tonight after he missed time last week with an injury.

The Warriors are looking to extend their win streak to double-digit games and keep up with the Suns. Golden State is coming off a win against the Thunder, thanks in large to Klay Thompson. Stephen Curry will have to push the streak to 10 wins without Thompson tonight — out with a planned night of rest — as the Warriors will play the first leg of a back-to-back tonight in Utah. Andrew Wiggins should see an increase in shot volume without Thompson and possibly Otto Porter, who will rest one of the next two games. The Warriors may be without Kevon Looney, as he is questionable with a quad injury.

The easiest place to find the best bets in the NBA is on the one-stop-shop for value and where to place a wager. Simply filter, sort the page and find the best return available across all books.

Over 223.5: -110 (PointsBet)

The true value in OddsShopper lies in the ability to find the best possible number, especially if it is just one book. PointsBet is the only legal book offering a full point below the regular total of 224.5. There are a couple of key defenders missing in this game: The top two contenders for Defensive Player of the Year. While the Warriors have been without Draymond Green for some time, not having Gobert on the other side should free up offensive flow. Both of these teams love the 3-point shot, and there are fewer obstacles in getting to the rim and free-throw line. The only thing that would slow down scoring would be offensive slumps, but with heavy volume guys like Curry, Wiggins and Mitchell, those should not last long. As lines and totals and totals move throughout the day, keep checking on OddsShopper for the best possible number to go over in this game.

Stephen Curry Over 6.5 Assists: +121 (BetRivers)

The Warriors are going to need more than just Curry to score, and he will have the ball in his hands the majority of the time. This also correlates with not having a rim protector like Gobert on the floor, where Curry can drive and dish to teammates in the post. Awesemo’s projection for Curry is 7.8 assists, and OddsShopper has a strong 46% xROI on the bet. The 66% chance of this prop hitting is one of the stronger plays available across this game. Curry has gone over this assist total in five of his last six games, including a 10-dime night most recently against the Thunder.

Donovan Mitchell Under 25.5 Points: -102 (FanDuel)

Mitchell provided a spark and the explosion that followed against the Knicks, but there is some concern his point total will regress against the Warriors. Golden State is still a strong team on defense and should do their best to swarm Mitchell. Any off night shooting the ball will also heavily factor into Mitchell’s night. Awesemo has him finishing with 22.8 points, nearly a 2.5-point gap. OddsShopper has a 68% chance of the prop hitting, along with a 27% xROI. In his two games back Mitchell hit for 27 then 32, but neither the Knicks nor the (current) Nets are the Warriors.

Bojan Bogdanovic Over 2.5 3-Pointers: +140 (BetRivers)

This is one of the stronger payouts OddsShopper has on a large-market prop bet. Bojan Bogdanovic will get opportunities to knock down at least three deep shots and has not been negatively affected by the return of Mitchell. OddsShopper sees a 51% chance of this prop going over, factoring in a 23% xROI. The projection from Awesemo has Bogdanovic finishing with 2.7 made 3’s, but there should be an increase of shot volume, as the game flow leans towards both teams firing away from three. With seven attempts in each of his last two games, Bogdanovic has plenty of volume to clear this number.

Andrew Wiggins 4+ Made 3’s: +530 (FanDuel)

That is “All-Star” Andrew Wiggins despite him not playing up to that tag in recent games. This is a great chance to catch Wiggins on a downswing and riding circumstance as he breaks out of that tonight. The Warriors are without Thompson and possibly Porter, which immediately bumps up the need for Wiggins to take more 3s. The shot volume for Wiggins has not suffered, it has been his shooting. Even if Wiggins continues to be inconsistent from 3, he should see double-digit attempts, along with Curry.

The Warriors and Jazz are top 10 in made 3’s each night, and Wiggins will be back in the spotlight draining from the outside.
